One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize our Product, or register with our Product or Services, a cookie helps our Product to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the Product, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the features that you customized.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Except as otherwise provided, this section applies to residents of states where they have privacy laws applicable to us that grant their residents the rights described below. For purposes of this section, “personal information” has the meaning given to “personal data”, “personal information” or similar terms under the applicable privacy laws of the state in which you reside. Please note that not all rights listed below may be afforded to all users and that if you are not a resident of the relevant states, you may not be able to exercise these rights. In addition, we may not be able to process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to confirm your identity or understand and respond to it. In some cases, we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of residents of these states, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply with respect to the activities it describes instead of this section. Verification: Upon receipt of your request, we will initiate the identity verification process to confirm that you are the individual for whom we hold information in our system. This verification procedure necessitates your cooperation in supplying relevant information, allowing us to compare it with the details you previously furnished. Depending on the nature of your request, we may request specific information to align with our existing records, or we may reach out to you using a previously provided communication method (such as phone or email). In certain situations, alternative verification methods may be employed based on the circumstances. Any personal information disclosed in your request will solely be utilized for the purpose of confirming your identity or validating your authority to make the request. We will make every effort to minimize the need for additional information for verification purposes. However, should it be impossible to verify your identity with the existing information in our records, we may request additional details to ensure the security and prevent fraud. Any supplementary information you provide for verification will be promptly deleted upon the completion of the verification process. Authorized Agents: Your authorized agent may be able to make a request on your behalf. However, we may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity and authority to act on your behalf. We may require a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable law. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized, such as by providing your agent with written and signed permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, the information we request to verify your identity, and confirmation that you have given the authorized agent permission to submit the request. Access: You can request a copy of the personal information that we have collected about you. Correction: You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we have collected about you. Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal information. Please note that once we process a deletion request, we may be unable to provide access or support to any past products or services. You have the option to opt-out of specific tracking activities related to targeted advertising, also referred to as interest-based advertising. According to the CCPA, this involves the 'sharing' of your personal information with advertising partners. End users have various options regarding the sharing, selling, or disclosure of their personal information, including the requirement to opt-in for their data to be shared or sold to third parties, as well as the option to opt-out of their data being shared or sold to third parties. You have the right to request details on the personal information that we sold, shared, or disclosed to a thirdparty for a business purpose.
